Disabling a hyperlink message in Access

[Bonitae]

I have a field in my database that is a hyperlink to a PDF and everytime I
click on the hyperlink to access the PDF I get a security warning that says:

"Hyperlinks can be harmful to your computer and data. To protect your
computer, click only those hyperlinks from trusted sources. Do you want to
continue?"

How can I disable this warning?

Try changing the Macro Security setting to Low ...

I am not sure which method you used (it sounds like you use Hyperlink
Fields) but in my case, I use Application.FollowHyperlink and I don't get
the warnings with Macro Security set on Low.

Thanks, but I did check the Macro Security setting and it is set on low. I
did use the method you mentioned. However, I am not sure how you set yours,
can you walk me through it?

I don't use Hyperlink Field. The full pathname to the PDF file is
constructed from different components in my database and once I constructed
the full pathname, I simply use:

Application.FollowHyperlink "file:" & FullPathName"

For example it may resolve to something like:

Application.FollowHyperlink "f i l e
:\\HOSBTSVR\Products\PDFs\P10001.pdf"

(remove the spaces in file as if I don't use spaces, OutlookExpress converts
it to a hyperlink automatically)

Sorry, I am still a novice at Access. Can you wlak me through this step by
step. I already have the database set up and maintain the PDF files on a
public drive. Can the table be modified to do what you are suggesting and if
so, can you just give me step by step instructions? Thanks!

Not in Table. Tables don't have any Event exposed so that you can use as
trigger for your code to be executed. You need to use a Form.

Also note that I wrote previouslt that I didn't use the Hyperlink Field.
The relevant field is simply a Text Field storing the full pathname of the
file.
